On behalf of our partner agency in Switzerland we are recruiting for an English speaking international family moving to Switzerland in 2025.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a professional loving career nanny to work for a fun young family in UK Switzerland and when they travel for holiday or work engagements.
The family is moving to Crans Montana a beautiful town and resort in the high alps. The area has plenty of facilities social and sporting opportunities. The family can arrange a ski pass for nanny if she likes to ski.
If nanny is able to she can start working for the family while they are in the UK between January and March. Otherwise you can start work for them in Switzerland from the end of March when they will move to Switzerland (they will have visits back to the UK). Their little daughter will be attending the nearby very good school. The family is expecting to expand their family next year.
The nannys role will be a mixture of sole charge shared care and also some proxy parenting. The family values routine and life at home will be fairly planned and structured. They like to keep structure when they travel as it makes things so much easier.
They are an easygoing relaxed family who are keen to provide their children with a natural and traditional childhood. Their daughter adores books stories crafting and going to the park and playground. She doesnt yet know about screens and sugar for instance.
The family is looking for a nanny who shares their childrearing views.
This family is happy loving conscientious and cheerful and are looking for a nanny who is similarminded.
Nanny should be looking for a long term position as they really want the children to bond with nanny and vice versa and stay for years!
They would love to engage a Norland nanny but if that is not possible due to passports then someone who has other similar qualifications in childcare.
They hope to be able to offer their nanny her own separate apartment or annexe but initially she may need to live in their house for the first weeks. She would have her separate bedroom and bathroom of course.
